(Alternate Title: The Glorious LifeMain Characters: Philip Clarke, Wynn Johnston) “Oh no! If I don’t work harder, I’d have to return to the family house and inherit that monstrous family fortune.” As the heir to an elite wealthy family, Philip Clarke was troubled by this…

However, that would have only led to a tragic end. Ronan knew that it was the worst option. Not only would he not achieve his goal, but he would also get Vanna into trouble. Hence, he learned from Philip to solve his problems gracefully, and it would be best if he could do it without any effort. Philip was right. Power had the final say. As long as he displayed his strength, they would keep their mouths shut no matter what they thought. “Let's just wait and see what they’ll do.” While Ronan was brimming with confidence, Carlos returned to Celestial Palace with his men, who were quite puzzled. They were wondering why they were returning so soon. They had no idea how strong Ronan was. They simply thought he was all brawn with no brains. “Captain, we don't need to be afraid of him. He’s just
“She’ll never leave with you. You can forget it. I’ll give her everything she wants.” Ronan stepped forward and pulled Vanna behind him. Philip sat aside and watched in silence. He wanted to see how the Celestial Palace would deal with this case. According to Vanna, she was highly favored in the guild. In that case, things should not be so complicated. They should accept the man she loved. “Vanna, this isn’t something we can decide on our own. I’ll go back and report the situation to the guild leader. You must watch out when you're here. Don’t let others deceive you.” Seeing Vanna’s determination, Carlos had no choice but to sigh and leave. It was meaningless for them to remain in a stalemate. Vanna glanced at him without a word. Before Carlos left, Ronan stopped Carlos as if he remembered something. “Since you’re going back to report the situation, take this with you. See it as a gift for my wife’s parents.” Ronan took out a bottle of fine wine and handed it to Carlos. Car
Vanna’s appearance could be restored to normal, so she was not considered ugly but unfortunately cursed. However, that guy’s ugly appearance was permanent. “My birthday is two days away, so they’ll definitely try their best to look for me,” Vanna said dejectedly. She felt a little depressed at the thought that she might be taken back by the guild. “Don't worry, I won't let them take you away.” Suddenly, there was a knock on Philip’s door. They looked outside curiously, already expecting those people at the door. Philip waved his hand, and the door opened. Since they had to face it anyway, they might as well create a commotion. It was Carlos who knocked on the door. After some investigation, he finally learned about Vanna’s situation and rushed over as quickly as possible. He felt his hands shaking when he knocked on the door. “Vanna, nothing must happen to you. Otherwise, we won't be able to make up for it even at the cost of our lives!” Carlos knew how much Vanna was favor
Although the Celestial Palace practiced a powerful technique, all their members faced the same problem of having an ugly appearance, which could be considered a curse. However, since the curse could be lifted, no one took it seriously. Many people were willing to join the Celestial Palace for strength. Almost everyone could solve the problem before the age of 20, but Vanna’s identity was special, so they were more cautious about it, which was why it had been put off until now. Vanna was simply relieved to regain her true appearance before she turned 20. Besides, Vanna and Ronan got along very well. They felt like they had known each other for a long time and felt close to each other. Nothing could separate them now. “Philip, no matter what happens, I won’t leave Vanna. Even if the people from the Celestial Palace try to stop us, nothing can separate us.” Ronan found Philip and solemnly expressed his determination. Philip nodded at his reaction. That was how a man should behav
“Therefore, not everyone can afford to mess with the Celestial Palace. Even ordinary families don’t have the right to know about them. The Cohen family is wealthy enough to know something about such mysterious ancient guilds, but they're unworthy to have any contact with the Celestial Palace.” Philip was surprised to hear Vanna’s background. It seemed that they were in big trouble this time, but Philip had never been afraid of any trouble. “I didn't expect so many things to be involved. I thought that this world was such a mess because of the various races and all the conflicts surrounding the races, but so many strange forces are involved too!” Philip was surprised. Things were getting more and more interesting. “Since many people don't know about the major guilds, how do you recruit?” Philip asked the key question, which was also the one he was most curious about. Vanna shook her head helplessly. “We simply travel around and bring them back if we find someone with good ta
Philip waved his hand indifferently. “It’s okay if you don't want to talk about it. Everyone is entitled to their own secrets.” Celeste glared at Darius unhappily. What a goof. Since Vanna did not bring it up, it proved that she did not want to talk about it. “Yes, that’s what I meant too, but I spoke too soon!” Darius apologized awkwardly, feeling a little nervous. Vanna could not help laughing at his reaction. “I have nothing to hide. I'm from the Celestial Palace. Our people are indeed very different from you. We’re the only ones with this curse. “I ran away from the Celestial Palace. My people wanted to marry me off to a loser, so I ran away in a panic, but I’ve reached the age when I have to break the curse. If I don't do it before I turn 20, I'll have to keep that ugly face for the rest of my life.” Everyone understood the whole story with that explanation, but no one had seen it coming. “But that guy from the Cohen family isn’t any better. I heard that he’s also a
This matter would become very serious if Vanna married someone else. “Not exactly. She has been taken away by someone else.” Lazlo was relieved when he heard that these people were looking for Vanna. She was nothing but trouble. He wanted nothing to do with her anymore. “Who took her?” the man asked fiercely. He could not shirk responsibility if Vanna married someone else. He would not be the only one in trouble. All his subordinates might die too. “It’s a guy named Ronan. That disgusting man simply stole her away! But we don’t know much about his identity.” Lazlo told them everything he knew. After hearing Lazlo out, the man scowled and turned to his subordinates. “We need to resolve this quickly. If it goes beyond our control, just take action. We can’t afford any accidents.” Lazlo could not understand the man's cryptic message, but it was not meant for him anyway. “What’s going on?” Lazlo was full of doubts as he watched them leave, wondering who they were. They plan
“Why are you so embarrassed? That’s good news. It’s not easy to find two people who appreciate each other, and I think she has quite a noble status. It’s a good choice for you to be with her.” Philip smiled calmly, a little surprised at Ronan’s decision. Celeste and Darius were also surprised, but they gave Ronan their blessing. “Not bad. I’m surprised that you realized it. Although Vanna looks scary, she was simply cursed. Once you marry her, she’ll regain her true appearance. It’s a good thing!” Celeste smiled. As a woman, she could understand the despair of being ugly for the rest of her life. Vanna was clearly happy with Ronan, and they looked very good together. Suddenly, Philip heard a commotion outside the door. He walked out and saw a crowd marching across the street. They felt similar to Vanna. They walked to Lazlo’s home without stopping. Philip watched the excitement and went back home after making sure that it had nothing to do with him. Ronan and Vanna had de
Nothing would be more reliable than their prediction. Celeste glanced at Darius. They nodded and dragged Philip to a deserted corner. “That woman exudes a very gentle aura. If she puts on a veil, she can surely rule over the world.” When they saw Vanna, they felt that she had a strong healing power as if she could heal with a glance. “I believe she has the ability to cure diseases and save lives. That's how she easily saved the young heir of the Cohen family. But I can't figure out why such a capable person would choose to marry a scumbag. It’s very puzzling.” Celeste sighed helplessly. Although she never thought highly of her prediction ability and her self-protection ability was even worse, she would never choose such a man either. Philip shrugged. The woman had to be hiding something. Since she kept quiet, Philip did not ask either. Ronan was the one who rescued her, so he would let Ronan solve it. “I noticed something about her. If I’m not mistaken, she has a holy aur
At Riverdale Public Hospital. “Excuse me, make way!” Philip Clarke was carrying an unconscious little girl as he rushed into the hospital, yelling madly, “Doctor! Doctor! Quick, save my little girl!” The nurses and doctor who had rushed out quickly took the child from Philip’s arms, and entered the emergency room. “Oh, you can’t go in!” A nurse in an azure-colored uniform with a face mask stopped Philip from entering into the emergency room. Just then, the rapid sounds of high heels clicking against the ceramic tiles could be heard from the back, squeezing his heart with every click. “Philip Clarke!” roared a woman’s voice. ‘Slap!’ A crisp slap came in firm contact with Philip’s cheek. Before him, stood Wynn Johnston with an enraged expression as tears pooled in her beautiful eyes. “If anything happens to my daughter, I will never forgive you!” Her tone was cold and laced with full fury. This scene frightened quite a few patients and their family members in the hospital...
